The GE LightSpeed CT750 HD Computed Tomography X-ray system is intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data taken at different angles and planes, including Axial, Cine, Helical (Volumetric), Cardiac, Spectral, and Gated acquisitions for all ages.

GE Healthcare conducted a recall involving 2 events affecting the GE LightSpeed CT750 HD.
